Warning against individual and societal complacence about economic inequity, he offers an economic model for investing in public wealth that challenges \"conventional wisdom\" (a phrase he coined that has since entered our vernacular) about the long-term value of a production-based economy and the true nature of poverty. Both politically divisive and remarkably prescient, \u003ci\u003eThe Affluent Society\u003c\/i\u003e is as relevant today on the question of wealth in America as it was in 1958.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780395925003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.53w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1999 pg. 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Kenneth Galbraith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637016424604,"sku":"9780395925003","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4a9a2852-fb4e-4c78-a995-d86381e54156.jpg?v=1603843648","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-affluent-society-9780395925003","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
